Dollar Girl

Chapter 81 Ratna

The heart is there a celebration to commemorate the birthday of the supermarket that makes them extra work all day, many buyers who come to make them very busy so it is difficult to drink even once. Arriving at the break Irma complained that her body felt sore because it continued to work.

"Patience.in a few hours we also go home" said Ratna.

Because supermarkets provide massive discounts, there are certainly many buyers who come, besides that, small children are also given free balloons.

After working all day they were finally able to go home as well, Irma said she would go straight home and sleep to restore her lost body energy. They walk out talking, but Ratna's attention is distracted by a crying child as the balloon is released and flies forward while her mother is unable to catch up because her hands carry a lot of groceries.

Ratna took the initiative to chase the balloon because the flight was not so high, lucky the wind was not blowing so fast that the balloon was successfully obtained. But a voice made him realize that he was standing in the wrong place.

Tiiittt's..... Tiiiittt..... Tiiiiittt...

Ciiiii.....

Brucks

In a hurry Ardi quickly ran down the corridor until he found Irma sitting on the bench, slowly he approached her and stood right in front of her.

"Ardi. "call Irma while hugging and crying in her arms.

Ardi could only rub Irma's head, calming her down and comforting with the words that Ratna would definitely be fine. Despite the fact that Ratna is currently in the ICU room and they do not know how she really is.

"I've told Jimy and uncle, they will definitely arrive soon" Ardi said when Irma had been able to control herself.

A few hours later the doctor came to them and said Ratna was in good condition even though she was unconscious, she did have a pretty hard impact on the head but no vital organs were damaged.

So far it can be said a miracle for Ratna who had suffered a great accident but did not suffer serious injuries, the only major injury was the skin on her leg that was torn and got seven stitches.

"For the victim's belongings please take" the doctor said before leaving.

"Let me take it" said Irma.

"Can you?" ask Ardi because Irma looks so weak.

Irma nodded her head with a slight smile and then left, after signing a statement a nun gave her all the Ratna items she had brought that day.

There were jackets, bags, clothes and necklaces that he was wearing. It was then that Ratna's phone rang which made Irma quite shocked, she saw Jaya's name on the screen and soon realized that it was Ratna's boyfriend that she had been telling me about.

"Hello." replied Irma picking up the phone.

"Hello.. I'm sorry this is Ratna's phone, right?" jaya asked because she didn't recognize Ratna's voice.

"This is Ratna's phone"

"Is Ratna there?"

"He was an accident" said Irma who could not cover up the fact.

"What's? what did you say?"

"Ratna had an accident, now she's still not awake. I'll send you the hospital address"

"Alright, please send quickly" said Jaya anxiously.

Irma immediately sent her address and returned to Ardi, it did not take long for Jaya to arrive. Of course his arrival invites questions for Ardi, after getting clear information from Irma he also sat there.

"The necklace..was he wearing it at the time of the incident?" tanya Jaya looked at Ratna's belongings held by Irma.

"You recognize her?" ask Irma.

Irma gave the necklace to Jaya, allowing her to see more clearly.

"I gave this necklace to her as a gift to celebrate our anniversary" Jaya said.

"You... and Ratna... Are you going back to dating?" ask Ardi not to believe it.

"Some time ago we met by accident, after which we began to communicate. I decided to express my feelings even though I knew she still could not accept me, it took at least two days for her to answer yes. But I know he's still trying to open his heart to me, so I gave him a gift so he knows that I'm serious about my feelings" Jaya explained.

Apparently Jaya was aware of Ratna's heart that could not lie, even so she still tried her luck. Because he did not want to be silent as a secret admirer, he wanted Ratna to know that there were people who loved him sincerely.

Moments later the Doctor comes just to say that they can visit Ratna but in turns and should not linger, Ardi and Irma agree to let Jaya look first.

As the door opened, Jaya saw the girl she loved lying helplessly on the bed, her eyes closed with hoses attached to her body.

"Hi Na. "sapa Jaya slowly.

"What do you want to do until it ends like this? though I intend to take you to Bandung again, I want to see you smile and joke again with me. Quickly open your eyes. I want to see your beautiful eyes.

Actually Jaya wants to continue to be there, next to Ratna and make sure that he will get better. But he had to obey the rules of the hospital because it was for the good of Ratna, after he left Ardi and Irma was turned in.

They just make sure that Ratna is really good and not seriously injured, satisfied to see the state of his best friend they came out.

Sapardi arrived at the hospital when it was late afternoon, apparently Jimy, Mita, Angga, and Rere also participated because of anxiety at the state of Ratna. Sapardi was first allowed to enter to see the condition of his daughter, while others waited outside while listening to information from Irma who saw the incident.

"You're coming too!?" said Jimy to see Jaya.

"Of course, as his girlfriend I definitely came"

"What's? since when are you guys in touch?" ask Jimy.

Because all his school friends are there to know how his love story with Ratna then Jaya also tells that now he and Ratna are indeed dating but only lasted a few days.

This news certainly makes Mita and Rere shocked because he knows well with Jaya and how the relationship between the two.

"I tried to contact him but there was no answer" replied Ardi.

"Yes, I tried too" Jimy said.

"Why are you quiet? keep trying to contact him until he's answered" Irma's orders are upset.

"Oh. alright" answered the two who immediately left the place.

Jaya who saw Irma's attitude felt that Amus was very important to attend, maybe he was Ratna's childhood friend but it felt Irma's attitude was too excessive. Aware of being noticed Irma took the decision to invite Jaya to speak together, of course what they will discuss is about Ratna.

"Maybe I knew Ratna not too long ago, when compared to you let alone the others I was just a stranger who was newly admitted. But I know what you don't know" Irma said.

"What's that?" ask Jaya.

"The man Ratna loves, from your statement you seem to realize that he does not love you. I didn't mean to break your heart, but this is the truth"

"That man..is he Amus?" ask Jaya.

"You guessed it, you must have realized that Ratna loved Amus even long ago"

"I'm not stupid, you insisted that Amus would come, which means something happened"

"Listen, maybe it's a little painful but Ratna accepts you because you're so nice and she wants to start a new life. I also know that Amus already has a girlfriend, only I think you should know the truth. In the future I hope you can understand if Ratna's attitude is not in accordance with your wishes" Irma said.

"You take it easy, I'm used to it. I already know this risk and am ready to face it" Jaya replied.

Indeed, this is the heart of Jaya, she has sincerely accepted whatever Ratna's attitude because the most important thing for her is that her love has been expressed. If in the end he had to let go of Ratna was not a problem, he had been in a relationship and the story ended in failure because he was not the top priority. Therefore, if he had to let go, he would release Ratna rather than force her into a relationship she did not want.

Ardi and Jimy returned without success, not knowing what Amus did but he did not answer also a phone call from them. All the messages they sent were not repaid.

After nightfall all the men agreed to keep watch, while all the women would stay at the Ratna boarding house even though initially they all wanted to wait as well. The key to her room was in Ratna's bag so Irma could open it, she went in and told her that it was Ratna's place to stay all this time.

"The dollar apparently never changed, no goods were wasted" said Mita saw a pencil made from a former drink that had been remodeled.

There are some room decorations also made from used materials, the room is quite neat with shades of pink and blue typical of a girl.

"Did you come here often?" ask Rere.

"Very often, he always makes me an experiment for styling hair. She really likes styling hair that's why she also works extra at the salon"

"Why did he work so hard like that, didn't he already have Magh's disease?" mita's Nagel.

"No one dared to refute him, nor could I say anything if he had already decided" Irma replied.

Mita and Rere who have been Ratna's friends since school days certainly understand very well what Irma feels, in the end they talk three with Ratna is the main topic.

Many of the stories Rere told Irma during their time in High School, as well as Mita who did not want to lose. All the secrets about Ratna revealed already even about his love for Amus, apparently before Irma Mita was the first to know about the feeling.

Then Rere became the second person who knew the greatness of Ratna's love for Amus until Irma became the third person, as Ratna's female friend was natural if they knew it.

"I didn't expect Ratna to be dating Jaya again" Rere said.

"Yes, for so long harboring love Ratna must have been so sick that she decided to give up" Mita replied.

"But isn't he great? rarely are there people who can hold love for that long, even with expectations that are not necessarily going to be realized" said Irma.

They nodded in agreement, one time they praised Ratna's great loyalty then some time later they scolded Ratna's stupidity that could not move on.

The next day the women took turns to keep watch, they forced Sapardi to take a short break at the Ratna boarding house.

At first of course he refused but after being persuaded by everyone he finally wanted to too, while Jaya went home first Jimy, Angga and Ardi decided to look for a cheap hotel. Irma herself could not wait because she had to work, so only Mita and Rere stood guard.

Long enough they waited and the doctor had alternated in to check Ratna's condition, but he was not yet aware. The doctor just said it was the result of a bump on his head, but there was nothing to worry about.

During the day Jaya returned to the hospital, buying Mita and Rere canned drinks and some bread packs.

"It seems that now you have succeeded" Mita told Jaya.

"I'm a lawyer now" he replied.

"That's great, I didn't expect a bad boy like you to be a lawyer" Rere said.

"Maybe this is the reason why now Ratna is willing to accept you again, for the dollar girl aren't you the key to wealth?" mita made them laugh.

In the moments when the sad atmosphere had begun to melt Amus came by running in the hallway, Mita who first saw Amus rise from the seat and looked at Amus until he got there.

"What... am I late?" asked Amus while adjusting his breath.

"Where have you been? why just come now?" ask Jaya.

"You... Are you here too?" ask Amus in wonder.

"We're all here, Ardi, Jimy, Angga's brother and Ratna's father. We came as soon as we heard the news" Rere replied.

"I'm sorry. I'm at work and there's no time to check my phone because my phone is in my bag" Amus said regretfully.

"Here you go, Ratna's doing fine. He did not suffer serious injuries but until now he is still unconscious, go see him" said Mita.

Amus nodded, slowly entering the room. Behind the curtains he saw the figure of a strong brave girl lying weak helpless, her body filled with food is now skinny like a plywood.

Unknowingly tears just flowed by, he slowly approached and sat down beside Ratna. Brushed her long hair and dyed her hose-connected hands.

"Ratna.. hey.. dollar girl, I came. sorry.
